Summer expeditions: Adventure under the midnight sun

Summer in Sweden is a time of endless possibilities, where the long, bright days and the magical nights under the midnight sun invite you to adventures you won't soon forget. Here are some of the most exciting summer activities you can experience with Swedish Wilderness Adventures.

Kayaking in still lakes

Nothing captures the Swedish summer better than gliding along in a kayak on a mirror-like lake. The quiet waters, surrounded by greenery, offer a peaceful experience that allows you to get close to nature in a unique way. Explore hidden coves, stop for a swim or enjoy a takeaway coffee on a sunny cliff.

Tip: Choose early mornings or late evenings for an extra magical experience when the sun is low and creates fantastic reflections in the water.

Hiking in the summer forests

For those who want to discover the beauty of nature on foot, the Swedish forests offer a network of hiking trails. Hike through green forests, along quiet lakes and across blooming meadows. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hiker, there are trails to suit all levels.

Tip: Pack a light backpack with water, snacks and a map. Take breaks to enjoy the view and maybe even take a dip in a lake along the way.

SUP – Discover nature from the water

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is a great summer activity that allows you to explore lakes and waterways in a calm and peaceful manner. Standing on a stable board, you paddle your way across the water and can enjoy the surrounding nature from a completely new angle. It is both relaxing and fun, and suitable for both beginners and more experienced paddlers.

Tip: Start your SUP experience on a calm lake to gain balance, and always wear a life jacket for your safety.

Night hikes and campfire experiences

One of the most unique aspects of the Swedish summer is the midnight sun, which makes it possible to enjoy nature even at night. Go on a night walk and experience how the forest comes alive in the soft light. End the evening by a campfire, where you can roast marshmallows and share stories with your friends while the sun never quite sets.

Tip: Pack a headlamp to navigate trails and make sure you have enough clothing to keep you warm when the temperature drops slightly during the night.
